Stingray Tent

To enjoy sleeping outside without the cold, hard ground and the critters that live there, here's an above-ground tent solution.

If you like the idea of sleeping outdoors, but hate the cold, hard ground and the critters that live there, London-based Tentsile has a tent for you: the Stingray. When anchored to three trees with ratchets and high-tension straps, the triangular Stingray hovers above the forest floor like the love child of a spaceship and a screen porch. It is a product with near-certain appeal to "glampers"—glamorous outdoors types who want five-star meals and 400-threadcount sheets in eye-popping natural settings.
